PPFCF vs HDFC Flexi Cap Fund

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Parag Parikh Flexi Cap Fund (PPFCF) and the HDFC Flexi Cap Fund are the two largest schemes in the flexi cap mutual fund category in India, between them accounting for a material share of the category’s industry-wide assets under management . Both schemes operate under the flexi cap categorisation created by SEBI in November 2020, which permits a fund to invest across large, mid, and small market-capitalisation segments without any minimum allocation constraint to any single segment, subject only to a minimum 65 per cent in equity and equity-related instruments. Despite operating under the same regulatory category, the two schemes differ materially in investment philosophy, portfolio construction, international allocation, fund manager tenure, distribution architecture, and the way each AMC interprets the flexi cap freedom.
